Keep up the good work!

I'm nowhere near finished, I will not bail on this project I've put to much work into it. I'm really enjoying this project , as in terms for hardware I think I'm going to be doing some more upgrades on final configuration. Love to chat but I got some modding to do.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
never mind keep up the good work! YOU LITTLE GENIOUS

Thanks mate,

Face is starting to look like glass, this is all the time I'm going to spend on it atm I'll finish it propertly in the paint stage. Time to get things back together and build the rest of the case pieces.

It becomes a real challenge to try to perform precision cuts of of any type without precision machinery. So when your without you have to make do with what you have and rely on your skills.

Suck a simple cut as this, I made a bit on a bench grinder and did everything by eye. To most it probably looks simple, my tiny drill press is worth 100$ new. A dremel is worth more.

I think a lot of you guys are put off doing certain mods because you lack the professional gear you find in machine shops. With the simplest tools and clever thinking anything is achievable. Modding was born in the home workshop....Edited by sil3nt_dr3ams - 2/7/12 at 3:12am

Using the center of the tap with a bit in the chuck that has a point, you use the downwards pressure of the drill press and rotate the tap by hand. A good rule is every half turn cutting is followed by a quarter reverse turn to clean the cutting head. Since these are such small taps I'm using petroleum jelly for a cutting compound, using it more as a lubricant than a cutting compound.

My methods can be argued, buts its methods that work for me and achieve the result I need.Edited by sil3nt_dr3ams - 2/7/12 at 8:48am
